Mpofu Nature Reserve, Nature reserve in Eastern Cape, South Africa.
The Mpofu Nature Reserve extends across 7,500 hectares of valleys and escarpments in the Katberg Mountain Range, featuring diverse ecological zones.
The reserve, established in 1985, occupies land that belonged to South African settler families from 1820 and contains structures reflecting Eastern Cape architecture.
Ancient San rock paintings within the reserve document the presence of indigenous peoples who lived in this region of South Africa.
Located 25 kilometers from Fort Beaufort, this malaria-free reserve offers hiking trails, guided tours, and opportunities to observe white rhinos, zebras, and buffalo.
Three mountain passes connect Mpofu with Fort Fordyce Nature Reserve, including the 19-kilometer Blinkwater Pass that climbs the Amathola escarpment.
